Core offering

Morillon designs and manufactures custom-engineered unloading systems (sweep augers and hydraulic unloaders based on the Archimedes screw principle) for extracting bulk products from industrial flat-bottom and conical-bottom silos. Its offering spans the Spirogyre sweep auger, Hydraugyre, Hydracone, Hydrasweep and TE1/TE2 Electrical Unloading System families, complemented by after-sales service, technical support and a 1,000+ SKU spare parts inventory, with all equipment built at the 4,000 m² Beaupréau-en-Mauges factory.

Product overview

Morillon designs and manufactures a portfolio of industrial silo unloading systems for bulk products stored in silos. The core product family includes the Spirogyre sweep auger line (S type, SCD type, Hydraulic Spirogyre) for flat bottom silos, the Hydraugyre series for difficult non-free-flowing materials in flat bottom silos (including all-in-one and beam variants), the Hydracone for conical bottom silos, and the Hydrasweep combining Spirogyre and Hydraugyre technologies. The company also offers the TE1/TE2 Electrical Unloading System. All products utilize Archimedes screw technology with either hydraulic or electromechanical transmission, operating on the FIFO principle. The product range handles diverse materials including cereals, chemicals, wood products, sludge, and waste across industrial sectors.

Products and services

• Spirogyre Sweep auger for extracting residual products (wheat, maize, barley, seeds, etc.) that free-flow with gravity but can build up in flat-bottom silos; activated after gravity unload completes with 360° rotation inside the silo. Used in industrial and agro-industrial flat-bottom silos across cereals, oilseeds and similar granular bulk materials.
• Hydraugyre Hydraulic silo unloader for difficult, non-free-flowing materials (heavy or lightweight, powdery or fibrous, dry or wet) stored in flat-bottom silos. Uses hydraulic transmission with Archimedes screw sweeping the silo bottom in 360° rotation following the FIFO principle, with capacities up to 600 m³/hour for silos 2–27 m in diameter.
• Hydracone System designed to unload products that may be heavy or lightweight, powdery or fibrous, dry or wet, and that are not naturally free-flowing, stored in conical-bottom silos. Uses hydraulic transmission with Archimedes screw sweeping the cone in rotating movement, featuring Booster start-up, safe enclosed moving parts and on-full-silo maintenance access.
• Hydrasweep Unloader combining the Spirogyre sweep auger design with the Hydraugyre hydraulic motor to extract remaining product that free-flows with gravity but can build up (e.g., soya seeds, wood pellets) in flat-bottom silos. Designed for high-speed flows needed by port storage facilities, handling silos 27–60 m in diameter with up to 500 tonnes/hour.
• Electrical Unloading System (TE1/TE2) TE1 and TE2 electromechanical unloading systems for low-density, non-free-flowing products stored in flat-bottom silos. Uses an electric motor driving an Archimedes screw that sweeps the silo bottom in 360° rotation following the FIFO principle, for silos 2–7 m in diameter with discharge capacities up to 50 m³/hour.
• After-Sales Service and Spare Parts Comprehensive after-sales support including global technician dispatch for activation and maintenance, bilingual technical assistance, and a spare parts inventory of more than 1,000 products. Sold alongside equipment to industrial clients worldwide to ensure continuity of operation of installed Morillon systems.
